sorry but Abby is right here. Costuming is NOT about Body Image. It’s about DANCER IMAGE. Dancer doesn’t = Stick thin or gorgeous or any other label you want to stick on a body. Dancer = Straight Knees, Pointed Feet. if your knees don’t straighten and your feet don’t point, or your lines are absolutely incredible and you have the most hyperextended ankles on the planet, Your costume helps create a DANCERS LINE. and make the most brilliant LINE aesthetics on stage. It is not about making your dancer look like they have a ‘perfect’. Pressley is absolutely perfect just the way she is and always will be. And Abby is absolutely brilliant at costuming and making a dancers lines look the best that they can look on stage. These 2 things can coincide peacefully. The difficulty level of that solo was crazy high and she nailed it. Maybe if she would’ve wore Abbey’s costume she would’ve won.
@@pdias4716 I don’t blame them it’s super easy to be confused as it’s a very fine line to cross. That’s why you need someone to explain the difference calmly and not just scream and yell .
I don’t understand why Presley and her mom made such a big deal about the costume. The costume that she was supposed to wear would have looked stunning with the choreography.
Because Abby was making fun of Pressley about the way she looks. No dance teacher should ever do that and make a child feel so insecure about themselves
they’re making such a big deal out of it. Abby wasn’t saying Presley’s body needed to be hid, she just wanted to her to wear the best costume that would suit her. this was all Ashley’s fault
@Jasmine N. it was not about hiding her body just because Abby wanted to or because she was being bodyshamed, it was about hiding her bad technique, if she had worn the costume Abby gave her (that acctually fit the choreography and hid her bad technique) she could've won
@Jasmine N. I mean technique, and such fine details take time to improve. Obviously she would have time to improve if competition wasn’t two days away, but since she was on dance moms for that period, she didn’t have time to fully improve on it. Hence Abby went down another route. I guess Presley didn’t realise her feet were bad (yknow dance wise) before Presley came to dance moms so yeah…
Hiding bad technique is understandable but hiding ur body just because she doenst have nice legs is not like her legs are not a huge issue and neither is her as Abby says her neck, legs, shoulders, or her hair she is beautiful HOWEVER, Abby is correct in a way because the costume does compliment your body and the dance it’s made for that reason it’s not to cover her body and some of abbys reasoning is good because I personally think teb first costume was getter but of course Abby has to be rude about it like she is about everything and everyone : C
@Jasmine N. she had to hide them because of her technique. It had nothing to do with her body but I think Abby mentioned before that she had a hard time keeping her knees straight
To be honest, I actually fully agree with Abby. Ashley is being emotional and making it all about covering her body. But it's just a costume made for the dance!
To be honest I think the first costume would've flowed better. Ashley kind of twisted Abby's words and made a big deal about it, when it really wasn't that big.
@@person6223 I would have loved to see any of the dancers from any of the seasons dance to a Melanie song. "Tag You're It" would have been a good dark piece for them to make a duo or group dance from like they did in Amber Alert, but sadly copy write exists.
The dance would’ve been so much more beautiful if she had that flowy dress on. Its not about body shaming, its about hiding her bad technique and having a costume that goes with the dance.
I’m sorry but I agree with Abby on this one. She wasn’t covering up her body she was covering her feet and legs in case there were footwork issues! Abby was right on this.
I thought the first costume would’ve been super pretty. She honestly might’ve gotten a higher score with that costume. The second one is pretty, but not for her. Ashley thinks they’re hiding her body, but they’re trying to flatter her and the dance.
Honestly I think Presley should have just worn the costume. It might not have been what she was expecting or exactly what she wanted but at least she got a costume.
Abby is right, I used to be a dancer and whatever costume the teacher picked for the dance, we had to use it because it went with the dance and the choreography for the dance, Pressley should have just wore the costume Abby picked because if Pressley was working in the professional dance industry and did what she did, she would have been fired on the spot instead of being allowed to perform
as an former dancer (contemporary/ballet), i am with abby on this one - in all honesty, her feet were a little weaker when it came to technique - she wouldn't look messy, in fact, it would flatter her rather slim build and enhance her waist and arms and draw less attention to her legs. I thought the purple costume was gorgeous
I personally think that Pressley should’ve just worn the outfit, because like Abby said it’s not about the body it’s about the choreography. The point of having the costume was to hide the bad feet. Also to fit with the music and dance. Abby does great with outfits, (most of the time) and I see why Ashley was angry but it’s kinda unreasonable. Like, sure she wanted Pressley to be proud of her body, but you don’t need a costume that shows a lot of it to be proud of it.
I’m surprised how Ashely got away with this. If it was Gianina and her mom or Hannah who done what Ashely and Presely did, they would get very bad consequences from Abby
Ashely made such a big deal out of this, Abby just wanted Presley to wear the costume cause it goes with the dance and would look and flow much better, but nahh Ashely tried to twist her words and say Abby was body shaming, blame nobody bur Ashley Presley could’ve won 1st place with the FISRT costume I agree it looked so much better and flowed so pretty!
I honestly think the costume Abby picked was way more beautiful and flattering for the dance. The other costume was covered in jewels that made her look more boxed and the bottoms looked like a diaper
At my studio they made everybody aware of what body types we had without making people feel bad. I knew I had a long torso and short legs with a tiny waist. So when they put me in costumes that flattered me I knew it was for my own good.
There's a reason Abby prides herself in costuming bc she really knows her stuff! I'm glad if Pressley got a boost in her confidence but this problem didn't have to be treated this way.
@chevon1920 she wasn’t rushing. Take your comment back and here we go again with you ripping on a dancer. She can go at her own pace if she wants to. You aren’t her teacher and no you aren’t allowed to give her a correction
What is this mother saying that her daughter is not showing enough. She should be ashamed to let her daughter think she has to show her self to get some where.
Part of being proud of yourself and your body is seeing that you can be beautiful in anything, you don't always have to show more skin to be confident in what you wear. Teaching true self-love is knowing that the current body that you have doesn't define your worth. This would've been a great opportunity for Presley's mom to show her that no matter what she wears, she's beautiful and talented.
I think the dance would have looked better with the other costume. Not just the feet, but how it moves. I think the other one would have flowed better and made her movements look graceful.
You can tell pressley felt good in that white costume. She did amazing. I don’t think it would have been as good without the confidence of feeling she looked good. No one can be their most confident in an outfit they hate that doesn’t fit right
This is probably the only thing I agree with Abby about. This girl should have worn the costume. It was very disrespectful. I would never let a child or mother dictate what they wear. She would be off the team after that!!
Momager acts like an employee telling a boss, "Well, I don't want to work on my project this way. I like to do it differently." The boss knows what's best and drives the project to completion. The employee would be fired, just like Pressley.
Pressley was such an underrated dancer on the show and judging by this I know she is capable of soo so so so much more this was just a taster of her talent
Abby: “ well you’re always hanging out and we’re not about that” Also Abby with the costumes for electricity and fantastic: “ We need to wear stuff like this to win”
the producers picked those dances and costumes though. When they did Broadway Blondes you could see Abby was not thrilled about the costumes the choreographer chose
I think they were just being dramatic. Dancers get critiqued on their feet and legs all the time its not about ur body its about the technique and how things look
1) As a dancer, the first costume would have gone well with the choreography. The costume ashley put on her did nothing for the choreography or her legs and feet. 2) The fact that ashley felt the need to show off her 12 year olds body because she's beautiful is a little disturbing. So she was teaching her that beauty is "showing off your body." That's sad and wrong.
I actually thought the purple costume was pretty, the skirt looked really good whenever she turned .In my opinion, the purple costume was better than the one she danced in Besides, what does "showing her body" has to do with her dancing? Its not like shes gonna win wearing a short top and shorts, its about her dancing, if she wins or loses, it depends on her dancing, not her costume
I like the purple costume more; it looked more mature and the skit flowed well. The costume she wore looked fine, a bit much for this solo, but I really didn’t like that cloth attached to her bottoms because it just reminds me of a handkerchief.
Give her a paige solo costume, these two dont know what is ugly costume. Abby wouldnt let kendall dance in costume that Jill got and she just let Pressley makes no sence
The costume abby wanted her to wear would've hidden her flaws, not saying she's a bad dancer. She's a great dancer but every dancer has weak points like Kenzie from the OG team had sickled feet so she usually did acro rather than lyrical, Abby was right on this one
I wonder what the original costume would've looked like onstage. The pink and white one was really pretty though. This was my favorite solo that Pressley has done all season. She did an amazing job!
The purple costume looked WAYY better. Ashely is just making this a whole big deal. Abby didn’t want Presley’s body to be hid. In my opinion this is all Ashely’s fault.
I don't agree with Abby on anything except this. The purple costume would've been much better for that solo with the choreography. The one Pressley wore on stage I didn't like.
The dance did not look technical and graceful enough and it’s because Ashley put her in that unflattering white costume, Presley and Ashley really messed up on this opportunity.
I felt like had she just listened to Abby and wore the correct costume. She would’ve won 100% she would’ve got first place the costume they picked to replace the first one did not go with her solo. It just did not suit her.
I don’t know if Abby hates her or not but she is the dance teacher and Presley is representing ALDC, she should listen to her dance teacher. Disclaimer: I don’t like Abby’s teaching methods at times but you have 7 previous seasons about how she treats her students. YOU signed up for it. And I know it’s reality TV. But still wanted to give my opinion whether ir right or wrong.
The costume Abby had was perfect for the dance...it would have flowed like a beautiful river with that choreography. You wouldn't tell a Broadway choreographer...sorry not wearing that.
I thought the original costume was better. The costume and the dance goes together they go hand in hand. But once u change the costume sometimes it doesn't go hand in hand. Ashley every parent is gonna think thier kid is great . Abby is in charge of the studio not you. Everyone knows u don't change the costume. At least Abby still let presely dance cuz sometimes she won't let u dance if u change a costume.
I think the problem for Nia was to create a good solo took more work, so she got less. Chloe an Maddie etc. can do the generic lyrical and Kendall the generic jazz because they have that natural turnout for it. Nia was less about technique and advanced skills and more about persona and that's harder to create without turning it into a dead horse. Plus the show is about rivalries so it focused mainly on Chloe and Maddie and their solos.
I understand that Presley’s original costume was unflattering and she didn’t feel comfortable in it. With dance or any competition with costumes, you have to do what is required for the dance. I’m happy she wore a different outfit that made HER feel happy and confident, but she could’ve saved the whole argument and wore the costume Abby gave her.
but that’s not the point. What looks good on her WOULDVE made the number because covering the legs and feet brings attraction to the arms and they won’t see her bad technique or bent knees and lazy releve.
Abby has bodyshamed a lot and it’s not OK. But in this case, she wasn’t body shaming. Abby didn’t use the dress to hide physical features, she used the dress to cover bent knees and lack of turnout.

Yeah that was the same thing I was thinking
IMO the first costume was really beautiful and it would've looked amazing on her for the solo.

Both looked great!
And the way it flowed with the dance was MUCH better and it was less distracting
I think so too! The colour wouldn’t be very flattering on that stage though.

For once, Abby was right. This isn’t about body image it’s about the correct costume for the choreography
It's all Ashley's fault the first costume looked so good
I like the solo and i like pressely but tbh , that new costume was much more revealing then the old one
I thought the costume Pressley chose to wear made her look shorter. I thought the original costume was way better.
This is a great opportunity for my little Kendall
I Clicked FASTER then abby could learn how to say GiaNina's Name👁️👄👁️
Anyone else who loves dance moms?
I’m not trying to be mean.. but I think the purple costume would’ve looked better. (My opinion)
You’re not being mean at all. I agree! First costume would have looked much better.
Me too, I think the skirt would have looked really pretty and flowing.
Pressley was amazing maybe if she wore the costume Abby gave her she'd place higher
I actually thought the purple costume was pretty, the skirt looked really good whenever she turned .In my opinion, the purple costume was better than the one she danced in
Besides, what does "showing her body" has to do with her dancing? Its not like shes gonna win wearing a short top and shorts, its about her dancing, if she wins or loses, it depends on her dancing, not her costume
“I cannot blow this solo” **complains about a decision and choses another costume**
I like the purple costume more; it looked more mature and the skit flowed well. The costume she wore looked fine, a bit much for this solo, but I really didn’t like that cloth attached to her bottoms because it just reminds me of a handkerchief.
"I'm very good at costuming"
Paige and Brooke just left the chat
Honestly they said Giannina was the brat but Pressly has been always on my radar for the position.
Give her a paige solo costume, these two dont know what is ugly costume. Abby wouldnt let kendall dance in costume that Jill got and she just let Pressley makes no sence
The costume abby wanted her to wear would've hidden her flaws, not saying she's a bad dancer. She's a great dancer but every dancer has weak points like Kenzie from the OG team had sickled feet so she usually did acro rather than lyrical, Abby was right on this one
I wonder what the original costume would've looked like onstage. The pink and white one was really pretty though. This was my favorite solo that Pressley has done all season. She did an amazing job!
The purple costume looked WAYY better. Ashely is just making this a whole big deal. Abby didn’t want Presley’s body to be hid. In my opinion this is all Ashely’s fault.
That costume wasn’t even ugly. There’s been WAY WORSE ALDC costumes 😂
I don't agree with Abby on anything except this. The purple costume would've been much better for that solo with the choreography. The one Pressley wore on stage I didn't like.
You can clearly hear that this is edited when she says "Last night Miss Abby gave me... My costume" @ 2:41
Abby plays favorite bc when Gianina did this her solo got taken away😳
They should have asked Jill what happens when you fight about costumes
The dance did not look technical and graceful enough and it’s because Ashley put her in that unflattering white costume, Presley and Ashley really messed up on this opportunity.
I’m literally living off of these dance moms uploads-
The first costume was amazing and the flow would of rocked too bad for that sweet child
I felt like had she just listened to Abby and wore the correct costume. She would’ve won 100% she would’ve got first place the costume they picked to replace the first one did not go with her solo. It just did not suit her.
I don’t know if Abby hates her or not but she is the dance teacher and Presley is representing ALDC, she should listen to her dance teacher.

The costume Abby had was perfect for the dance...it would have flowed like a beautiful river with that choreography. You wouldn't tell a Broadway choreographer...sorry not wearing that.
The purple costume had a much better - and more forgiving - skirt. For once I agree with Abby.
I loved her outfit, I feel like her attitude is her mom's 🤷
I thought the original costume was better. The costume and the dance goes together they go hand in hand. But once u change the costume sometimes it doesn't go hand in hand. Ashley every parent is gonna think thier kid is great . Abby is in charge of the studio not you. Everyone knows u don't change the costume. At least Abby still let presely dance cuz sometimes she won't let u dance if u change a costume.
The original outfit was better and made more sense. The mothers never seem to learn. Play your role and do as your told. 🤷🏾♂️😂

You know, Chloe and Nia got crappy costumes all the time. You know what they did? Worked with it and danced beautifully.
I’m getting Nia vibes… like Abby said “she isn’t good for solos” just like she said with Nia and Nia always won when she got the good choreo
I think the problem for Nia was to create a good solo took more work, so she got less. Chloe an Maddie etc. can do the generic lyrical and Kendall the generic jazz because they have that natural turnout for it. Nia was less about technique and advanced skills and more about persona and that's harder to create without turning it into a dead horse. Plus the show is about rivalries so it focused mainly on Chloe and Maddie and their solos.
I understand that Presley’s original costume was unflattering and she didn’t feel comfortable in it. With dance or any competition with costumes, you have to do what is required for the dance. I’m happy she wore a different outfit that made HER feel happy and confident, but she could’ve saved the whole argument and wore the costume Abby gave her.
but that’s not the point. What looks good on her WOULDVE made the number because covering the legs and feet brings attraction to the arms and they won’t see her bad technique or bent knees and lazy releve.
Ashley out here sabotaging her own daughter because they didn't like the purple dress 😒
I love dance moms I watch them again and again every day
I remember that all the costume drama was caused by the producers, they gave Presley's mom the white costume and forced her to wear it
Abby has bodyshamed a lot and it’s not OK. But in this case, she wasn’t body shaming. Abby didn’t use the dress to hide physical features, she used the dress to cover bent knees and lack of turnout.
I wish abby would have taken her jacket away and given it to GiaNina 😂😂😂
If it was any other dancer Abby would have pulled the solo.
“You’re always hanging out” 💀
I LOVE DANCE MOMS!

Who doesn't love dance moms
i feel like at your age you shouldn't be worrying about what parts of your body are hanging out and mad that parts aren't hanging out
Im so sorry Presley,i wanted you to win,i really did,I dont know what went wrong,i thought you were going to be first place,ure amazing,Keep strong 💪🏻
As much as I dislike Abby she was absolutely right here
